Cardiac Wire from RSNA: How Heartflow Plaque Analysis is Shaping Cardiac Imaging

At RSNA 2025, Cardiac Wire sat down with Michael G. Coords, MD to discuss Heartflow’s latest advancement in Coronary Care. The conversation brings together clinical expertise and technological innovation at one of the world’s most influential medical imaging forums, offering a clear look at how the field is moving forward.

In the video, Dr. Coords walks through how Plaque Analysis builds on Heartflow’s AIdriven coronary modeling to provide a more complete picture of disease. Instead of relying on traditional imaging alone, clinicians can now see plaque type, distribution, and burden in a way that is intuitive and clinically actionable.¹ This deeper understanding gives physicians greater clarity as they make decisions that can affect both immediate outcomes and long-term management.

For healthcare professionals shaping the future of CAD care, this discussion highlights why enhanced visualization and characterization of plaque is a meaningful step toward earlier detection and more confident treatment planning.

Watch the full interview to see how this capability is redefining what’s possible in non-invasive CAD management and why it represents an important shift in how we care for patients with CAD.
